Demented by Jacky Fleming


I just got to read the book even though with mounting asgmnts. Another reason was because; it's an illustrations/comic book, & i kinda like the title, wic is enough to make me laugh :D
The illustrations also seem to have some familiar strokes..turned out that Mr. Fleming did some illustrations for children books, which i may have come across.

Of course you might find a couple issues inside a bit outdated [but functional] (talk abt Friends Reunited & handphones) but the rest are just timeless. It is quite interesting that everything revolve around a character going abt some middle age issues. I find the author's way of handling the main character a bit crude...yet charming. I like her having the nonchalant husband there & still there, what with her eccentricities etc :p

Anyway, glad i could read it in one go!

Sooo Guilty at the moment!

Now what do we have here...
She's a delight to watch!

Guilty, just because...

So I went to the BBW Book Sale at South City Plaza with my baby sister... adding more to my list of bought-books-to-be-read.
But, I managed to save 70-90% on everything compared to what they would have cost me elsewhere, other times ;)

The Bulletin/Article Writing Workshop

The course started Fri evening 29 Oct to Sun evening 31 Oct.

So a day before the workshop there was 1 final exam paper & the day before that there was a candidature defense session that we had actually asked for excuse due to impending due date for the qualitative asgmnt (+ the xm to prepare for?!). In the end, we had to endure it all. Oh, did I mention? Our interviewee didn't come on the appointed time. So our last resort was to do an online interview with 2 different people that very night.

I made arrangement wit NI to have her spend the time at the budget hotel with me & do what she could do with the asgmnt first while I attend the workshop. She became my driver to &; from the workshop venue. Apparently there was a couple who were among the workshop participants spending the nights at the hotel also. NI gave them a lift on the final night & last day of the workshop as suddenly their car broke down. They were really nice couple, committed in sharing & conveying health issues through their blog (the husband is a doctor).

Well, i was a bit disappointed that my workplace did not send anyone to the workshop. Being the main centre of u-know-what, this workshop would help in preparing the annual bulletin etc. But then, if I were to put myself there & happened to be chosen, it would be quite a dilemma for me also. Can't bear to think of the workload I would have to shoulder while away on course.

Anyhow, initially I was supposed to attend the workshop with a free mind..until that qualitative asgmnt made its grand entrance in the last class. I was so thankful that NI could join me at the hotel & we discussed on the asgmnt once i returned from the workshop, which was abt 11pm each night. She did her part quite good while i was at the workshop.

I was lucky to have received email abt the workshop fr RS and was able to enjoy the discounted fee being the early bird. The participants received a certificate, a complete notes files & invaluable tips, plus very hearty meals! I kept telling the management that the food they prepared for us were so mewah!

One of the workshop gurus put a tulah (sort of a curse) on us participants; if we did not produce any article within a week after the workshop, all the knowledge/tips we gathered there would be lost. UH-OH...

Points to remember &never repeat after this;
It is illegal to upload photos/videos or copy song lyrics then paste/put to blog etc. without the consent/permission of the rightful/original owner.

Hmm, this is going to be hard...

p/s: I'm sure one of the gurus, was a classmate in a feature writing class I took while in iium.
p/p/s: I wish I could stay another night in Wangsa Maju & explore the area like a tourist :p
p/p/p/s: Our qualitative asgmnt, was made as example for the seniors to refer to ;) Alhamdulillah...
